Summary

This study is testing whether dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) can help young people aged 13 to 23 who have bipolar disorder or have a close family member with it. Over one year, participants will attend group skills training and individual therapy sessions to learn mindfulness, emotion control, and coping skills. The goal is to see if DBT reduces mood swings, suicidal thoughts, and improves daily functioning.
